Legal right to compensation: Cyprus Airways flight between Larnaca and Abu Dhabi

The LCA - AUH route operated by Cyprus Airways experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Larnaca International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 333 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Did you know? Even if Cyprus Airways is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Larnaca International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.
